Throttle requests

Postby alan » Mon Feb 15, 2010 5:35 pm

Just got charged a lot of money for going over 20 requests per second by Betfair despite having the throttle set to 10 for months. I am running version 1.1.0.64x. Any ideas? :(

The throttling works and has never been proved not to. Have you definitely got throttling ticked in preferences? Have you been running any other applications (including the website) at the same time or using a different account at the same time?

You can email bdp@betfair.com and get a breakdown of the requests.

If you've never incurred charges before they don't usually charge you the first time.

Thanks Gary. You have always been very helpful and was not trying to make out that it was at your end. Betfair just keep springing suprises with their charging!

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
